Gareth Bale also comes in, with Karim Benzema dropping to the bench. In midfield, Mateo Kovacic and Lucas Vazquez replace Toni Kroos and Isco respectively, while Luka Modric is the player to make way for Asensio. In defence, Dani Carvajal is back in place of Raphael Varane, who is joined on the bench by former Betis star Dani Ceballos.

Marco Asensio’s introduction against PSG proved vital on Wednesday, as the youngster claimed two assists to swing the tie in Madrid’s favour. He is rewarded for his efforts with a start tonight, in a much-changed line-up.
